Announcing our new Next Gen Associates programme

BRB’s Next Gen Associates is an exciting brand-new associate programme for aspiring young dancers run by Birmingham Royal Ballet.

Supporting young dance students in the period between leaving primary school and potentially starting full-time vocational training, this is a unique opportunity to train with professional ballet dancers whilst gaining a rare insight into a world-class ballet company.

Next Gen Associates sessions take place on Sundays in Birmingham once every half term. Each session includes a ballet/repertoire class and a personal development class.

Auditions for the inaugural year will take place on Saturday 30 May 2026.
